Question - Anyone else find themselves waffling between "favorite" classes? (3 Viewers)

Since I've come back to the game, I find myself waffling between my "favorite" classes, just like I did in the old days :) One big difference this time around is that personas make it simpler and less painful since I don't have to repeat quests and achievements (unless I just want to). PAL/SK is the big one for me. I love playing both of them, really. While I am playing one of them, I am always comparing how the other one would handle whatever situation I am in better. I end up trying to convince myself the class I'm *not* playing is better until I switch personas and the madness begins again ><

How many of you suffer from this "affliction", and which classes do you waffle between?
 
I've done enough testing between PAL & SHD that I've come to the conclusion that PAL is better, and always has been the better tank than SHD, for 2 reasons.
1. Rez since Classic. Lotta people think you need a cleric in those early days, nah. Just use a paladin.
2. Act of Valor. Shadowknights are supposed to be the ruler of death but can't even kill themselves smh. I will forever be in debt to the paladins who have done a raid saving Act of Valor.
That said, I have mained most classes. Tanks are by far the most fun lol.

I don't like driving my paladin(s), but i think they are severely underrated. the threat you can get by using the splash heal is gnarly. they're incredible PL toons, and can easily pl 5 shitters and having a rez is nice instead of an sk/clr or sk/merc
 
I love my rogue. I played one early game and just love it. But my Bard is just so much more fun. I always found myself defaulting to Bard instead of Rogue.

I can NOT drive a PAL. Drove me nuts. I'd rather drive Nec and have the Pal on assist/tank mode.

I prefer waffles over pancakes also.
 
I have never really "waffled" between tanks, but I do have this tendency with dps classes.
Monk has always been a long time staple for me personally, but lately I have parked the monk in favor of ranger...
The head-shotting exp for the entire group is insane and always fun to watch.
Same thing with my poor Berserker, 130 and AA capped but Decapitation AA seems to have really fallen off in SoR compared to ranger's Headshot line.
So berserker sits there, collecting dust in favor of a Beastlord who brings more group synergy to the team, which works great so far.
Don't have any personas as of yet, but have used all the freebie 110 boosts to form a new crew...
that is Pally, Druid, Enchanter, Wizard, Mage and Rogue. I do love Paladin, super underrated like Sic was saying. Almost slept on really how good pally actually can be in the right hands. But for my money, SK is the king in group situations.
I will always choose the SK to drive with for the simple fact they are an S-tier puller, and with cooldowns available I have survived so many "oh shit" situations with SK that would crumple my pally or warrior to dust in the same gear.
